Determination of lacidipine in Beagle dog plasma by UHPLC-MS/MS method
Objective To establish an ultra high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the determination of lacidipine in plasma of beagle dogs was established.Methods It was pretreated by protein precipitation method and the internal standard was nimodipine.Chromatographic column:ACQUITYUPLC® BEH C8(2.1 mm x50.0 mm,1.7 μm),mobile phase:100%water containing 5 mmol·L-1 ammonium acetate-100%acetonitrile,flow rate:0.7 mL·min-1,column temperature:40 ℃,automatic injector temperature:4 ℃,injection volume:20 μL.Electrospray ionization source,positive ion mode,multi-reaction monitoring.The specificity,residual effect,standard curve and quantitative lower limit,precision and recovery,matrix effect and stability of the method were investigated.Results Lacidipine has a good linear relationship in the range of 0.10-50.0 ng·mL-1,r=0.996 6,the lower limit of quantification was 0.10 ng·mL-1.The specificity was good.The intra-and inter-relative standard deviation was less than 12%.The extraction recovery was higher than 80%,and the stability was good.Conclusion The method has the advantages of high sensitivity,simple operation and short analysis time,and was suitable for the pharmacokinetic study of lacidipine in Beagle dog plasma.
